Spring blood test date offerings continue through May for Southcentral and Southeast programs and mid-June for the Tanana Valley Northern Region Program.

We continue to follow our appointment-based model, which works well and our clients are pleased with the service. Our traditional “morning draws” offer the ability to scoot in early and go enjoy a good lunch. Our late afternoon draws provide the chance to eat breakfast and skip lunch. Visit www.alaskahealthfair.org and check for various May “office draw dates” offered “by appointment only”. Follow these instructions:

Find the program that serves your region; pick the city and date, then “Make Appointment” button on that line.

The system will walk you through some questions and schedule your appointment.

Our scheduling system notifications@calendly.com sends confirmations and reminder emails and texts. Check your junk mail if these communications are not seen quickly (call if you don’t find them).

The ability to change or cancel (if needed) can be found at the bottom line of your original confirmation email.

If you experience difficulties registering for an appointment on our website, give our local office a call and we’ll assist you in the process:  Anchorage (907) 278-0234, Fairbanks (907) 374-6853 and Juneau (907) 723-5100.
